Monster Hunter Wilds' Open Beta 2 Date Announced

Monster Hunter: Wilds Second Open Beta Dates Announced

Capcom has announced the dates for the second open beta of its highly anticipated title, Monster Hunter: Wilds, scheduled for two weekends in February 2025. Building on the success of the first beta (late 2024), this second beta offers another opportunity to experience the game before its official launch on February 28, 2025. This ambitious open-world RPG promises a vast and diverse environment teeming with challenging monsters.

The first beta provided a taste of the narrative, character creation, and some initial hunts. This second beta expands upon that foundation.

Beta Dates and Times:

• Weekend 1: February 6, 2025, 7:00 pm PT – February 9, 2025, 6:59 pm PT
• Weekend 2: February 13, 2025, 7:00 pm PT – February 16, 2025, 6:59 pm PT

Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam.

What Awaits in the Second Beta:

The second beta includes all content from the first: character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new challenge awaits with the addition of a Gypceros hunt, a fan-favorite monster returning to the series. Furthermore, players can import their characters created during the first beta, eliminating the need to recreate them.

Capcom acknowledges feedback from the first beta, addressing concerns regarding visuals and weapon mechanics. The developer assures players that improvements are underway based on this feedback to polish the game before its release.

This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans. It offers a final chance to refine the game and heighten anticipation for what promises to be a landmark entry in the Monster Hunter franchise. Whether a returning player or a newcomer, February 2025 is set to be a thrilling month for monster hunters.
